Discover the fun of wheel-throwing pottery these school holidays for kids in Sydney.
Join us for a fun and creative school holiday wheel-throwing pottery class designed especially for kids, with the option for parents to join in too. In this two-hour workshop, students will be introduced to the pottery wheel with a demonstration before receiving step-by-step guidance to make their own creations. Participants will have the chance to create pieces such as cups, bowls, planters, or candle holders while enjoying the experience of working with clay.
This class is suitable for children aged 10 and above. Kids can attend on their own, or parents are welcome to take part alongside their child.
At the end of the session, each participant will select their best piece and choose a glaze colour. Our team will trim, glaze, and fire the pieces, ready for collection from our studio 2–3 weeks after the class.
